Other East Beaches Snorkel Information
Snorkeling East Maui beaches: Most east beaches are not well suited for snorkeling. Strong changing currents and poor visibility make swimming and snorkeling difficult and dangerous at times. Head to Hana Bay for decent snorkeling and/or kayak snorkel tours for safe east Maui snorkeling.
Black Sand beach: black Sand beach in Wai'anapanapa Park is a beautiful beach consisting of small black pebbles not sand. The currents here can change quickly and is a popular spot for man of war and jellyfish. You can find some fish on a calm day.
Red Sand beach: Kaihalulu beach, also known as Red Sand Beach, is a beautiful beach with stunning red sand and cliffs.
